Probably the worst player to have ATP points is Mark Ein, owner of the Washington Kastles. He was 43 when he got Kevin Kim to partner with him in doubles and won a round in the main draw of an ATP event by retirement several years back. He is basically a decent recreational player that bought himself a WC and got lucky.

Gulbis is lazy, complacent, and spoiled by his $$Daddy$$, but he's not the "worst" ATP player by any means. Don't forget that this lazy, complacent doofus has wins over GS champions ********, Djoker, and Pony...

Verdasco by far. He is genetically designed to be unable to beat Nadal no matter how badly Nadal is playing. Have you seen their match in 2011 Cincy which is probably Nadal's worst tournament every season.

It's tough to say, because if you are good enough to get some points, it's a hell of an achievement, and you can have that hot day where you can beat almost anyone. I grew up playing with a guy who played sporadically for several years, never really making a career out of it, but he had a win over Mats Wilander. Now anyone who can say they beat Mats Wilander can certainly say they weren't the worst player of all time, but he wasn't really much of an "ATP player", even though he had points and a ranking.

No. He was a fairly reasonable journeyman player - got to AO semis, got to top 20 - who had a bad streak for a while, which he later came back from.

I suspect Goober got it right.

Interestingly, I checked his record, and he's tried that a few times - and he got a SECOND win in some other tournament! Also by retirement.

Verdasco by far. He is genetically designed to not beat federer, no matter how bad Fed is playing.

I have to say that Gulbis is one of the softest players on tour, but I don't know about being the worst. He does have talent, it just doesn't seem to be a real priority to him to put it to use on a consistent basis.

Even being the worst on the tour means you're one of the best in world.
